Used half of a large Vidalia onion here along with the green onions & the other ingredients & had A GREAT BEAN SALAD, & 2 of us managed to devour it in just two meals! This recipe is certainly worth keeping around! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my Vegan groupmates in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 5]

Tagged for Veg*n Swap. I halved the recipe, but used 1 small red onion and 1 green onion and forgot to halve the dressing. That was okay, it wasn't too much. I did use fresh black beans and added a little garlic powder. I liked it better the next day, after it had time to marinate, but I think it had too much onion. Next time, I would cut out one of the onions.

I really liked this dish. It makes an excellent main dish salad. I followed the recipe as written. I used a regular cooking onion. Next time I'll probably use a Vidalia or red onion. Made for Recipe Swap 15
